Sometimes we are only focus on the products that apply on the face that having so many precious ingredients inside. Are U sure that all the ingredients that can absorb or benefit to your skin? I’m sure the things that you eat is much more benefit than the things you put on your skin.

How do you know what kind of nutritional supplement is right for you?
First you should decide if you need a supplement. If you can answer the following question with “yes”, you may not need one:
Do you almost always eat freshly prepared food with at least 5 kinds of fruits and vegetables a day? If not, ask yourself a few more questions: Is your life stressful? Do you get enough sleep? Do you smoke? Do you eat fast food? Do you live in a city where the air and water may be polluted? If you answered any of these questions with “yes” you probably need a supplement.

If you decided that you do need a supplement, try to find one that gives you the proper balance of vitamins and minerals.For example, you probably need between 400 and 800 IU (International Units) of vitamin E and between 1,000 and 1,500 mg of vitamin C a day. Vitamins E and C should always be taken together, so be sure a supplement has both. You also need alpha- and beta-carotene. Other necessary vitamins include the vitamins B12, and B6, niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), and thiamin (vitamin B1). Glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, Co-enzyme Q10, the bioflavonoids including anthocyanidins found in grape seeds, alpha lipoic acid, and several other antioxidants would be very good as well.
